Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / regulation implementation guide
Norwegian term or phrase: omsetning
Hi, I'm trying to verify which translation of omsetning works best here - in this case below it seem closer to "sale" but other instances which refer to the EN version of the original directive translate it as "placing on the market" Is there a general, underlying concept to keep in mind when translating omsetning?- as you know it is often "turnover" "sales" "revenue" when used in financial reports, also "interaction" in medical phrases.

Tobakksdirektivet regulerer mange forhold ved produksjon, bevilgning og omsetning av tobakksvarer, som:

Other examples in the document:

Omsetning og merking av visse produkter som er beslektet med tobakksvarer eksempelvis som elektroniske sigaretter (here the pre-translated version is "placing on the market)

Dette vil gjøre det mulig å identifisere alle aktører som er involvert i omsetningen, samt den faktiske forsendelsesruten fra framstilling til første detaljsalgssted.

Thanks for your help!

neutral  Enrique Bjarne Strand Ferrer: Omsetning includes wholesale, so I would avoid retail. Sales is in my opinon the better alternative.

disagree  Charles Ek: I disagree for the reason cited by Enrique. This is why “retail” is the wrong choice: “ Dette vil gjøre det mulig å identifisere alle aktører som er involvert i omsetningen, samt den faktiske forsendelsesruten fra framstilling til første detaljsalgssted.

supply chain; circulation


Explanation:
... of vs. trading in ...

> placing on the market is Norwenglish or Danglish for bringing into circulation = Inverkehrbringung in DEU.

Perhaps Non-Pro voters can make a more useful contribution by adding value.

Example sentence(s):
  • The traceability system aims to: Contribute to reducing the circulation of non-compliant tobacco products; Reduce artificially cheap supplies of illegal tobacco ...
  • The tobacco supply chain refers only to traditional tobacco products such as cigarettes, cigars and cigarillos, traditional oral and nasal .
